Activity 1

  • Take the Media Violence Notes (should be saved in a Word Document in your H Drive as Media Violence Notes)
  • Look over the Media Violence Handouts

  • Write 1 script for a Media Violence play for K-8 students (you should plan on younger kids seeing this)

Media Violence Play Acting
Based on the notes on Media Violence (4 effects) you are now going to create a skit for elementary/middle school students.

  • Choose 1 out of the 4 effects
  • Write a detailed script showing the effects of media violence
    • Make sure the script is detailed enough for anyone to be able to get up and perform it
      • You will probably need to add instructions of props, costumes, and other things that are needed
      • Keep it entertaining

  • Scripts are written using Times New Roman, 14pt font in ALL CAPS
  • Each script must have a title
  • You may work with ONE other person on this. Make sure both names are on it
  • Email your final script when you are done

Example:

SETTING: BASEMENT IN AN AVERAGE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A COUCH AND A TV.
TWO BOYS ARE PRESENT WEARING JEANS AND HOODIES.

BOY 1: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO TODAY?

BOY 2: I DON’T KNOW, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
